I have a question about Gamergate

She calls for ending other writer's careers, made arguably racists comments, and desperately hates gamers. There are entire collages collecting her zaniest posts. On top of the article Gamasutra published, her actions were the nail in the coffin.

And so, you Gamergate people wrote to Intel to ask that they stop advertising on sites where she posted articles?

Pretty much. Most of us have Intel products of some sort in our stuff and the only way we could really hit these guys and where it hurts. It wasn't until we were ignored by gaming media that we really resorted to hitting up companies.

Aside from an EA representative making a neutral-to-GG toned post, all of the big companies have been quiet. There was one anonymous Xbox developer who says the atmosphere in the company is largely GamerGate side, but since he can't speak officially I rather wait to see official responses.

Until then we gotta hit ad revenue.
